Marks amp; Spencer have really out done themselves ahead of St Valentine's Day with their cheeky new Love Sausage.The meaty treat went on sale today, Friday, February 8, and despite the dubious name, it looks to die for.

On Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns (real name Leati Joseph Anoa i) blindsided the wrestling world by announcing that his leukemia was no longer in remission, which was shocking in large part because his original battle with cancer was not known publicly. It had already been reported that Reigns was injured and he was off this past weekend s live events, so when he showed up to open Raw in street clothes with his hair up, it was obvious that he was about to announce something meaningful. Still, nobody expected what was coming, which was both in its form and in its import far off the usual script. The announcers went from hype mode before the speech to shell shocked tears after. Renee Young spoke of how close her husband, Dean Ambrose, is to Reigns; Corey Graves explained that Reigns isn t just a work friend, mentioning that their kids play together. Reigns teammates in The Shield, Ambrose and Seth Rollins, joined Reigns for a long hug before doing their fist bump pose. Both were visibly in tears.While the live crowd in Providence stayed lively all night, it took a good hour or so for the show to feel like more than an unnecessary and dubiously tasteful distraction from what had come before. To the credit of the wrestlers and producers, the show came around, eventually peaking with Rollins and Ambrose winning Raw s tag team titles from Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. It was the happy ending that everyone had been waiting for all night, and the match itself was pretty damn exciting, to boot.

The U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson and his wife, Norrine, arrive at the airport in Izmir, Turkey, on October 12, 2018.Umit Bektas Reuters After two years in Turkish custody, the American pastor Andrew Brunson was released following a hearing on Friday. A judge lifted the travel ban against Brunson, freeing him from two months of house arrest. Prior to that, he had served more than 22 months in jail on terrorism and espionage related charges in connection with the failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdo an in 2016. He has denied all the charges. Following Friday s hearing, he boarded a plane bound for Germany en route to the United States.Brunson s case had become a major point of contention between U.S. and Turkish officials, as observers deemed his prolonged detention based on dubious evidence a form of hostage diplomacy to be used as leverage in bilateral negotiations. The breakthrough followed months of diplomatic pressure from both President Donald Trump and members of Congress, who have been working for Brunson s release since he was swept up in the mass purges that followed the failed coup.

Seeking to puncture the narrative of strong and muscular leader spun around Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Bharatiya Janata Party, Congress says Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi are contrasting leaders; one is a true democrat while the other is authoritarian . The last four years of the BJP rule has irrevocably established that the attempt of India s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to impose the dubious Gujarat model on the rest of India has boomeranged. Delhi is not the same as Gandhinagar. It cannot be bulldozed into submission, said Sanjay Jha, national spokesperson of Indian National Congress Party and president of All India Professionals Congress (AIPC), Maharashtra.

Trump ”participated in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents ”, the newspaper said.Trump has stated on numerous occasions that he received little help from his father, New York property developer Fred Trump, in building his fortune. But the newspaper said its exhaustive investigation of a vast trove of tax returns and confidential records found this was not true.

One thing that hasn 't really leaked out, however, is the launch date. We 've heard rumors and seen one dubious pre order website that fingered the date as October 16th. Although that came from a Chinese e commerce site, the date is looking a little more likely thanks to a packaging leak on social media site Weibo.

Some of these publishers, as the IE report details, have been running from a single room while they tempt researchers with lists of illustrious names as their committed editors. It is, thus, easy to see why many big names including the vice chancellors of BHU, JNU, professors from the Madras and Roorkee IITs, among others should also figure in the lists of researchers published in these dubious publications. The only jarring bit is that, even if one were to assume that all these researchers were unaware of the predatory nature of the publishers, why didn t they do a background check of the publications? Given almost all the editors contacted by IE have said that they were either unaware that the publisher listed them as editors or had never given their consent, the game would have been up right at the start.Getting published in a peer reviewed journal is a metric of the quality of a researcher 's work. Thus, many universities research organisations specify this as a condition for recruitment. However, in a poorly regulated space that is populated by so many recognised journals for instance, in the US, which produces a larger volume of credible research compared to India, the government run Education Information Resource Centre lists just 1,110 approved journals this incentivises fraudsters to game the system. This is not to say that the publication requirement for hiring and promotion in academics research be done away with. What is needed is the listing of predatory publishers without damaging the open access (but genuinely peer reviewed) publishing space. Else, India 's research output will never amount to much.

We're not strangers to Secureteam10, the YouTube conspiracy theory channel that dubiously has reported on a crashed UFO near Antarctica and an alien craft flying through lightning bolt, but their newest video seemed like it had the making of a conspiracy classic (before it was removed): After looking at photos taken by the Curiosity rover, the channel's creator and narrator Tyler Glockner managed to pick out on blurry part of the photograph at ground level, which caused him to ask, "Has NASA once again slipped up and let evidence of potential alien life reach the public in a new set of photographs captured on Mars by the rover?"

Pope Francis, US President Trump and PM Narendra Modi are the top three followed accounts globally, says Newslaundry. The Pope and President comfortably outnumber PM Modi in number of Twitter followers. But they are no match for Modi when it comes to percentage of fake followers. While 37% of Trump s 48.9 million followers are fake, 60% of the Indian Prime Minister s 41 million followers are fake, revealed media outlets citing audits by Twitter Audit.com and Twiplomacy. The reports say 59% of Pope Francis 17 million followers are fake.This would give PM Modi the somewhat dubious distinction of having the most number of fake Twitter followers in the world.

Some context: Jones has recently been on thin ice with YouTube, and this week he was reportedly one strike away from a total ban after using the channel to spread crisis actor theories about the survivors of a school massacre in Parkland, Florida. Infowars DC bureau chief and resident Barack Obama is gay expert, Jerome Corsi, found his own account purged just a few days ago though YouTube later restored the channel and did not reply to repeated requests for comment as to why from Gizmodo, and it s walked back bans of at least some right wing content lately.Lots of people have essentially been waiting for the hammer to drop on Jones presumably profitable main YouTube channel, which he conveniently uses to advertise his line of pricey and dubious health supplements, but it just hasn t happened yet despite a massive exodus in advertisers. Infowars also reportedly has 11 YouTube channels in total. On Saturday, Jones tweeted the purge was finally coming and directed viewers to a new channel, Infowars Censored.

CBI has also booked Sabhya Seth, Reeta Seth, Krishna Kumar Singh, Ravi Singh all directors of the firm and another company named Dwarka Das Seth SEZ Incorporation for the alleged fraud. The whereabouts of Sabhya, the prime suspect, and other directors is not known for now.The CBI charged the company and other directors of two firms with cheating OBC in connivance with bank officials and dubious financial instruments. This is similar to the modus operandi of absconding diamantaire Nirav Modi who defrauded Punjab National Bank (PNB) of Rs 11,400 crore.

Senator Ted Cruz (R TX) called ISS privatization backers numbskulls, reasoning that As a fiscal conservative,...one of the dumbest things you can to is cancel programs after billions in investment when there is still serious usable life ahead. Senator Cruz is normally no fan of federal funding, but Texas is home to Houston s Johnson Space Center, which oversees the Space Station. All politics is local.Senator Cruz and others suggest that privatizing the ISS would mean squandering the $80 billion to $100 billion already invested in the Space Station over the past few decades. But just because the government invests in basic research does not mean that it has to fund and manage the project forever. By privatizing its share of the Space Station the government could save the approximately $3 billion spent in annual upkeep by NASA. NASA dubiously justifies the drain on its budget by pointing to a myriad of scientific advancements coming from research conducted at the Space Station even though those could be undertaken by private companies.

Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon, the first openly gay athlete to win a spot on the US Winter Olympics team, turned down a meeting with Vice President Mike Pence after publicly criticizing Pence's record on LGBTQ rights, according to a Wednesday USA Today report . "You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy? I'm not buying it," Rippon said last month , referencing the controversial and medically dubious practice that seeks to alter an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity.

News organizations were dubious when Facebook announced last week that it would highlight "trusted sources" of news based on community feedback. It was, after all, the Facebook community that propelled fake news stories and Russian linked bots during the last election cycle.
